Just cleaned off the remnant, 49 year old foam that secures down on the top of the radiator and replaced it with new foam, so wanted to share with others a Concours replacement that you can find at local big box stores. I used A/C seal foam for under $10 in a 42"x2.25"x2.25" package, then used a serated roasting knife to trim to fit. Once trial fit is confirmed, I used Loctite 200 series, spray adhesive to install.
It is now great to have all the air channelled through the radiator and I even believe the temp gauge runs slightly lower too. The front bonnet looks clean and tidy unlike the prior dangling chunks of old foam.
